Kyle Shanahan is adding a familiar offensive assistant, one who has a long history with his father, Mike Shanahan.
Per NFL.com, the 49ers will hire Bobby Turner, 67, as their running backs coach. Turner spent the last two years in Atlanta on Kyle Shanahan's offensive staff. He had stints in Washington and Denver before that, at both points serving under then-head coach Mike Shanahan.
It's not known what Turner's addition will mean for incumbent 49ers running back coach Tom Rathman, a fan favorite who has survived previous regime changes in San Francisco. A former fullback, Rathman won two Super Bowls with the 49ers and has had two long stints (1997-2002 and 2009-16) as the running backs coach.
